This article presents a case series of patients with Tuberculum Sella Meningiomas (TSMs) who underwent endoscopic endonasal resection. TSMs are challenging to diagnose and treat due to their location near critical neurovascular structures and the optic chiasm. The study included 74 patients, predominantly female, with a median age of 56.7 years. The surgical approach resulted in a high rate of gross total resection and improved visual outcomes. However, CSF leak remains a concern, although it has decreased over time. Overall, the endoscopic endonasal approach is considered a safe and effective treatment for TSMs. [Extracted from the article]
